with area have rain moving from the ohio valley through western pennsylvania and here it comes, it is moving in pretty rapidly and, once rain gets in we will possibly see rain on and off through the overnight hours and through much of tomorrow as well. you can see creeping in harrisburg right now and within the next hour or so should spread toward lehigh valley and toward city by 7:30 or 8:00. here's our next system across four corners, going to stream eastward and cut by to our south but enough cold air filtering in on saturday, that that could cause some snow, to break out across the region. future weather will start with the rain at 8:00, intense downpours coming through at 10:00 raining steadily and that continues through overnight hours and a wet morning commute tomorrow as well, at least some light rain and drizzle and continues on and off through much of the day. heaviest rain tonight but rain doesn't push out of here until four or 5:00 o'clock tomorrow which means in the next 24 hours or so many spots could have a half inch of rain on

that already saturated ground. so watch out for pond nothing your yard, and on the roadways then we will head into saturday, which starts with some sun, cloud gathering through the day and by 7:00 p.m. we have snow at a good clip across the area but warm air will filter in and the mix line right along i-95 decent thump of snow, and change to snow to rain in the city and mainly rain across south jersey, delaware, fast moving system, ground temperatures are warm but precipitation comes down heavy enough in the north and western suburbs we could be looking at a couple inches of snow, all snow for poconos and lehigh valley, mixture in the city, as much as three to six slushy inches far north and west, looking at an inch or two in the city but i'm thinking this is pretty much low impact event because sunday war back to 50, moves that snow will melt, roads should pretty much hand this will well. worse traveling problems in the lehigh valley and poconos a by next tuesday we are back to 07-degree.

legitimate impact bull pen with a variety of different strengths that they can turn to at different points in the game and as kap says if young players, if all players, but especially young won take steps forward they dent always have to be enormous steps but just small steps forward, there is in reason why we can't, why we cannot compete. >> college basketball, and a bunch of local teams hit hardwood, temple won five straight but they are on the road at number 19 wichita state, delaware at towson, drexel on the road in northeastern and penn state looking for win number 19 at home begins eighth ranked ohio state. i'll be honest, i turn game off at half time last night. i know, i'm sorry. they were down bias much as 24 but roared back to beat heat 104-102 in the absence of joel embiid, ben simmons led the way with his fifth triple double of the season, 18 points, 12 boards, 10 assists, with the win sixers are just
